DORM LOGS: Now with EVENTS!

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log! January edition.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: Approximately the latter half of January to the earliest of Februaries (15th - 5th)
Warnings: YOU KNOW YOURSELVES

We all know our characters experience downtime after classes and their busy schedules, and this is a good venue for those kinds of miscellaneous dorm-shenanigans to take place. Not only does it give your characters the easy chance to meet new people in a laid-back environment, but it's a good mechanism for strengthening CR. It's easy!

Feel free to begin in any way you please! Plan with (a) fellow player(s) if you'd like! Or, set up a thread and wait for characters to bite! Just add a thread with the room number (and date/time, if it matters) and the characters that reside there (just for reference!). You do not have to use one character's thread as a dual-purpose for both characters if you do not want to. Doesn't have to be a dorm room, either, if you have something else in mind. It could be the common room or the student science lab or wherever.

BUT WAIT!!!!!!

This time, we're shaking things up. On certain days, there will be an event going on that might help if you can't think of a good scenario to kick off a thread with. Here is the list!*

1/18: Hypno's Naptime. Much like the anime episode of the same name, there are mysterious sleep waves pulsing through town. No one is sure where they're coming from- it could be a rowdy Hypno that took over a broadcasting station one day, or maybe it's the local Disco Drowzee club that opened up just recently and their collective moves are enough to make you snooze. Well, these sleep waves might make you catch onto some unexpected z's, but more likely they can give you strange effects. Don't limit it to thinking you're a Pokemon, either. They can trick you into believing you're something else entirely, or just give you the urge to slip on a chicken costume and table dance in front of a crowd without finding it socially inappropriate. Just. WEIRD STUFF, MAN. Anything is possible.
1/19 - 1/25: Nancy's going on vacation. That's right, you sorry saps aren't gonna know what to do with yourselves now that no one's cooking for you. There was gonna be a substitute lunch bear/lady/alien space creature, but for whatever reason, they never showed up. So now, everyone must FEND FOR THEMSELVES. How will you fare if you don't even know how to flip a spatula?
1/25 - 1/27: Ice Cream Blizzard. Oh, you poor, starving Smashers. Not only are you bereft of nutrition, but it's cold and snowing and you can barely get out of the building without freezing solid! You might just perish, but wait- if you step outside and try to catch snowflakes with your tongue, you might just realize that it's... snowing ICE CREAM?!
1/29-1/31: Goomba Infestation. Everything is Goombas for 2 days in the boys dorms. Bowser is dicking around with "Itchymarbles" again, and it just spills out across the entire dorms. This prank has the unfortunate side effect of, well, affecting everyone on campus, and not just Scratchy McMarbles, so you might wanna be careful opening that fridge, since the wrong kinds of mushrooms might start pouring out. Jumping on them might work, but it's gonna take a lot of hopscotch to decimate an entire roomful!

This is a bit of an experiment, so... we'll see what comes of this.

*Note: These were determined by rng. Any other suggestions will be recycled for next time if the event aspect is successful.

Rhys had taken the note Cyrus gave him for Christmas to heart. For whatever reason, likely because his mun has been terrible at keeping up, on the occasions Rhys made an effort to try and meet up with him, Cyrus wasn't around. He finds him dressed in a style so contrary to his usual attire that he doesn't even realize it's him until he studies his face. Even his face looks a little odd, wearing an expression so rare and cheerful. It's very curious, but... not a bad thing by any means!

"Umm... Cyrus, hello!" he greets. "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"Hey, Rhys! It has!" The words came out so jolly and upbeat that they hardly sounded like the same man. "Where have you been?"
gentlesaint: (Thank you for your kind words.)

As such, the priest was taken aback. He wasn't quite sure how to react. Out of the initial startle he smiled uncertainly, the smile growing more certain after he spoke. "Oh, I've been around, though it's been a little more busy since I've been somewhat understaffed. My, I can't help but notice what high spirit's you're in, though! Did something happen?"

The ensuing strong hug was firm and caring, drawing Rhys close for a friendly, playful gesture. "I just woke up feeling great! But the more important issue is how YOU'RE doing! I can help out if you want." In addition to the bizarre upbeat manner, Cyrus's speech was pitched faster than normal, and far faster than his usual mechanical pace. "I'd really like to help you."

At first, the cheeriness had been a welcome change. Now it was starkly off-putting and warranted concern. He could barely return the hug; his arms were weak with hesitation in how to handle the situation appropriately. "I would appreciate that very much. However, something about you seems a little... well, different," he admitted carefully. "I've never seen you smile so much before. You've always been reserved when it comes to showing emotions." Or, in his case, even the thought of having them.

Cyrus took a step back, the smile dropping but expression still far from his usual stare. "I just feel so great today. As if everything is settled and wonderful!"

"Is that... so?" There was really nothing he could do about his incongruent behavior except go with the flow and accept that he was merely in an extraordinarily elated mood. He still found it odd, but what good would outwardly denying it do? Perhaps things would become clearer the longer he interacted with Cyrus. His lips formed back into a soft smile. "Well, I'm glad you're feeling so good. Oh, by the way, I like your sweater." He was referring to the hoodie.

The smile lept back. "I do too! I can get one for you if you want. You need to keep warm. Don't let spring's approach catch you off guard! You young man have to stay healthy!" The last word was punctuated with a firm jab of a finger to Rhys's chest
